[RFC PATCH v1 3/7] mm: hugetlb: Move mpol interpretation out of dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma()

[Ackerley Tng]

Move memory policy interpretation out of dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() and
into alloc_hugetlb_folio() to separate reading and interpretation of memory
policy from actual allocation.

Also rename dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() to
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() to remove association with vma and to
align with alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol().

This will later allow memory policy to be interpreted outside of the
process of allocating a hugetlb folio entirely. This opens doors for other
callers of the HugeTLB folio allocation function, such as guest_memfd,
where memory may not always be mapped and hence may not have an associated
vma.

No functional change intended.
